Overview:

Overnight, the position was reinforced but pressure on the defenders of the east bank was maintained by mortar and artillery fire. A dawn air supply drop relieved the most pressing ammunition shortage. The recently arrived reinforcements pulled out along with Lindquist to support Sainte Mere Eglise, and so the defense of La Fiere fell once again to Able Company. Lt. Dolan was called to replace the dead Major Kellam at Battalion headquarters, leaving 2nd Lieutenant Oakley in command as Able Company was reinforced by a handful of men from HQ Company and 307 Engineers. Before long, the increased intensity of mortar fire signaled a renewed German Attempt on the causeway.
Attacker: German (1057th Grenadier Regiment and Panzer Ersatz and Ausbildungs Ateilung 100)
Defender: American (Able Company, 505th PIR)
